My Perfect London Fashion Week Outfit with Motel Rocks

Hello!

I'm not usually one to want to partake in blogger competitions but when I heard about Motel Rocks' chance to attend London Fashion Week, I did a little shriek at my computer screen.

Motel is a brand I truly love and have done for a number of years; coupled with the fact that as a fashion-obsessed Journalism graduate, reporting from LFW would be an absolute dream.

So without further a-do, here's my perfect LFW outfit, with some key pieces from Motel:

My Perfect LFW Front Row Outfit with Motel Rocks by katieafox

I've chosen some great items from Motel. The Foxy (perfect down to the name- aha!) white faux leather jacket with studs down the shoulders has a really cool modern aesthetic and is the perfect throw-on piece for spring. I also picked the Lara crop polo top which is covered with a digital camo print to add a bit of edge and the Star Textured Skinny Pant in black as I'm a big fan of anything high-waisted! Add to this my Jeffrey Campbell Lana boots (which my boyfriend bought me for my birthday from Motel last year), a trusty bowler hat and some silver jewellery, including an awesome cross bracelet by Rock 'N Rose.

I'm sure I'm not alone in desperately wanting to go to LFW- what would you wear if you were?

Love,

Little Black Dress

Hello!

Last week I popped along to an event held by LittleBlackDress.co.uk

The event was held to celebrate the website's new party dress collection and also to unveil their own design 'ultimate little black dress'.

LittleBlackDress.co.uk sells, you guessed it, dresses, as well as accessories and jewellery; stocking brands like Rise, House of Dereon and more recently, Reiss.

My blogger friend Bex and I went along. She's only recently started her blog- it's lovely so you should go and show her some love!

Being the absolute moron that I am, I began snapping away only to realise later on in the evening that I'd left my SD card sticking out the side of my laptop...

Hence the reason that the below two pictures are the only decent few in the post, because Bex took it! The rest were taken on my barely adequate phone...

The event was really fun and it was good to spot some familiar faces!

I'm sure Bex will have a post up soon if you want to see some better images ;)

Meet Lana...

Hello!

Sorry for being away so long; I'd like to say that I've been really busy with work and other unpleasantries but truth be told, it was my birthday!

And birthdays mean lots of lounging around, being waited on hand and foot (hopefully), sat around drinking cocktails and scoffing birthday cake. For the past two weeks I've been in the birthday mindset and been totally lazy- my gym bag has been in my car, unused for three weeks! Oh dear...

Anyway, I wanted to share my fave birthday present which was gifted to me by my amazing boyfriend.

Drum roll please.

JEFFREY CAMPBELL LANA'S!!!

Another pair to add to the collection!

I've had my eye on them on Motel Rocks since they went live so was really chuffed to get them! They're so bloody high but amazingly comfortable- even more so than the Lita's, I would say; I think there's extra padding inside.

I love them because they're a bit different. I find that the Lita has been copied to death and there are so many good fakes that sometimes I go out in mine and doubt that anyone knows the difference. These are really quirky; I love the curved heel, cut out back and the distressing around the toe. They're really unique.

If they look a little scuffed it's because I'd already been out in them. Far too keen.

The Jeffrey Campbell shoe boxes are always so lovely with pretty illustrations on them.

I wore them out on my birthday and lasted all night without blisters or having to limp, dance standing on the spot or taking them off- a feat rarely achieved by most of my other shoes!

I also wore them out to the cinema earlier this week (watched Looper, it was brilliant!). This is what I wore:

Earrings: Car boot sale; Patterned blouse: £3.50, charity shop; Cuff: Portugal; Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell @ Motel Rocks

Love,

Foxy
